To meet Building Regulations, your hot water taps are fitted with a thermostatic<br />

constant, safe shower and bath outlet temperatures, preventing scalding. The<br />
temperature is pre-set to start blending at 48 degrees producing a water temperature<br />
between 42– 44 degrees. This may be cooler than you are used to if you have<br />
moved from an older property.<br />
